I agree with turismo, also cause its got live axles front & back which make it flex great & easier to lift.

Having had a Landy S3 & Defender, Nissan G60, LJ80 as well as a Cruiser and done heaps of miles in Unimogs, I have a JGC because they are bloody good and it isn't a pain to work on and doesn't cost heaps for parts unless you do the dealer thing, if I wanted to belt around in the Simpson I would probably go the Landy but the Jeep does me.

Cause I went to school in one and thats why i bought it.

Believe me, I sold my W210 E320 Merc to buy a Jeep Cherokee 02.

Not that i ever felt the need to convince myself or anyone else for that matter.

looking at buying an xj 1996 limited or sport what is the difference between the two, i think sport lift is higher, which com with ho motors and are is it worth going for a ho over others, im in adelaide, one im looking at is limited is black in and out $5999 another is $4999 bluey colour both are at yards there is a jeep in the next shape on for $5999 which would you buy, will be used generally around town, duck shooting and fishing trips about 6 trips a year as i am disabled, used to allways have 1971 pacer 6 & v8 chargers ect love chryslers they were allways good on fuel all of them. i dont tear around those days are gone im 44, just me and missus kids grown up, sort of, any advice please was keen on mitsubushi pajero 3.5 or 3.0 ltr but im drawn back to jeeps, told towing with pajero they suck fuel though, i tow a tinny loaded up camping. thanks Darryn.

BMAC, I concur with all the sane comments - now i'm in for it!
It has style, features and benefits not available on a lot other brands at entry level.
It is a safe, on road vehicle, with excellent power to weight ratio.
The transmission system on my 2007 WH CRD Laredo will run rings around most other vehicles off road.
Maybe I'm biased toward Jeeps, as I previously owned a 2003 CRD KJ.
Good luck in your research.
